Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    His raising her up made her feel
    like a little girl again when she had a father
    who brushed the dirt from her eye.
    Indeed, she took hold of herself,
    knowing she owed Jesus a life,
    as sure-fire as a trump card.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    it’s just that I see love as odd as wearing shoes—
    I never wanted to marry a girl who was like my mother
    And Ingrid Bergman was always impossible
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.
    Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
